What in the 9 hells is this?

TarotMaster

So i was spending a few hours testing out my diffrent classes while killing some Ankeggs when i came across this. It was a letter that said "Why does a chair have arms and legs like a man but cannot walk or hold things?" Is this a riddle of some sort?

HerrderGezeiten

Nope,...
It is a letter worth 100 Gold. (Random Drop)

Oh well i thought it was cool/neat i hope i find more in the future.

"Why does a chair have arms and legs like a man but cannot walk or hold things?"

Because it hasn't got feet, nor hands.

Next one should be:

"Why do men craft chairs with arms and legs, but without feet or hands?"

Gallowglass

There are feet on the legs of my chair! But yes, there are no hands on the arms.

The in-game joke is wrong about chairs not being able to hold things ... this one I'm sitting in holds me well enough. Otherwise I'd fall on the floor.

TarotMaster

@Gallowglass Hahahaaa good thinking. But it cannot grasp things in its clutches unless it comes alive like in Beetlejuice.

Alistar2013

I got that too and was like hey this could be important and I googled and searched here and found nothing! So yeah just another 100-good-for-nothing-useless gold.

CaloNord

Hahaha! I found it a couple of days ago and was convinced it was important. I carried it around for quite some time for no bloody reason :P Still love my golden pantaloons though. Stay away from them!
Trousers you would be proud to take home to mother, if mother rode fast and fought hard!

JuliusBorisov

Odd that they'll pay me 100gp for a meaningless note that probably smells like Ghoul goodness, and then only pay me 30-40gp for a nice, clean, useful set of Splint Mail or a Two-Handed Sword. Silly shopkeepers;)

CaloNord

Me thinks the economy may need a reworking? Wonder if that should be a mod...?

TarotMaster

@CaloNord‌ I remember the crazy prices in IWD 2 i though some items on there where overpriced. lol
But then again they where at war with low supplies. " 5 coins? By the gods i had no idea that Targos was paved with such riches!"

CaloNord

Hahahah! I remember that!! Then there was stuff like masterwork spears for obscene amounts of money. I could buy Targos for the price of that pointy stick. And can someone get me chainmail for less then the price of a ship?!

In all seriousness though a money mod would probably be a hell of a lot more work then it sounds. To get it to work you'd really need to introduce a copper, silver, gold system to get realistic prices. Which is really not everyones cup of tea and to be honest sounds like a hell of a lot of work for little tangible difference

I would like to see what bg is like when a suit of armor actually costs as much as a small mansion and you can only carry one at a time, and the gibberlings don't have gold coins shoved up their butts.

CaloNord

WHERE DO THE GIBBERLINGS KEEP THEIR MONEY?! OMG. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?! /Rant/ *cough* Sorry about that... I lost control a little... :O

Him. *Glares*

TarotMaster

@meagloth‌ Well its like when you kill a deer in skyrim and find like 6 gold... lol

CaloNord

Fus Ro Dah! *bear goes flying 200 miles* I hated that :P

TarotMaster

I love doing it to the Greybeards and watching them fly off the mountain, But when it fails and they spam you with frost breath.... Its a lose win situation.

CaloNord

HAHAHAHA!! Oh that's mean! :P
DOVAHKIN!

LOL Thank you for my morning chuckle CaloNord. I hadn’t seen that one.

CaloNord

You are very welcome! It's epic. And highlights everything I found mildly childish about Skyrim FUS RO DA! Bye bye big scarey beasty
Morrowind.
Give me Morrowind EE!

TarotMaster

I think there are a few others of said bear.

CaloNord

Yes there are indeed many videos of the aforementioned bear. DOVAHKIN BEAR!
I always found the arrow in the face and that moments silence quite funny.
Fus Ro Da was way OP :P

Metalloman

Morrowind is Bethesda acme of the whole TES saga.

Personally, I use a wallet.

And yes, those scrolls are just a really rare random drops.

@CaloNord ask and you will receive

You just need the right mods

CaloNord

@Erg‌ I've been running it with Better Bodies, Better Heads, MSEE, Abigails Petshop and weather/grass and tree enhancements. Looks pretty good, it has a few compatibility issues with windows 8 that have since been bypassed! One of my FAVORITE games of all time!

Elrandir

I've found that multiple times in my games but always figured it was pointless. 100 gp isn't much, but I still would've kept it had I known...

Metalloman

@Calonord: @Erg is right: There are LOTS of mods for TES III: Morrowind, also you can find FULL overhaul mods for it! I remember in 2009 re-playing it with this kind of mod and itt looked much better than Oblivion!! Better models, better textures, deeper LOD, realistic sounds, various rebalancing, quest/npc/items additions etc all in one NEXUS compatible mod installer.

Also, IIRC, i recall a total conversion for TES IV: Oblivion, which basically converts it in Morrowind.
